In late July 2026, Amazon Prime Video removed the 1987 live-action Masters of the Universe film, noting its poor critical reception and confirming that the removal would take effect on July 31. The post-credits appearance of She-Ra sparked fan speculation, and behind-the-scenes photos of her costume were released. Director Travis Knight indicated he has an actress in mind for a possible continuation, though no official sequel plans have been announced. The following day, Amazon Prime added a new original animated Masters of the Universe feature. Directed by Travis Knight and starring Nicholas Galitzine as He-Man, Jared Leto as Skeletor, and Camila Mendes as Teela, the film retells the classic Prince Adam-to-He-Man story with a vibrant animation style. The 2-hour-20-minute movie was made available for streaming worldwide. By late August, the animated film experienced a significant turnaround. Despite a theatrical run that failed to recoup its $170 million production budget—earning approximately $114 million at the global box office—the film became a major streaming success. Following its July release on Prime Video, the title accumulated over one billion minutes of viewership within its first week, according to Nielsen audience measurements, placing it among the platform’s top hits. However, by early September 2026, the reboot experienced a sharp decline in streaming performance. After debuting at number one in the Nielsen cross-platform streaming charts with 1.17 billion minutes watched, the title lost film fell out of Nielsen’s overall Top 10 for the week ending August 30. It recorded approximately half a billion streaming 588 million minutes in its second week. This rapid drop in engagement suggests a lack of sustained audience interest following viewership, representing a roughly 50% decrease from its initial digital release. debut week.
